There are no Makerbots at Noisebridge.
This describes the current progress of the building of the Makerbot.  Instructions are found [http://wiki.makerbot.com/cupcake here], and a forum for it is found [http://wiki.makerbot.com/forum/c-77688/talk-about-makerbot here].


Noisebridge's Makerbot kit, thoughtfully purchased by Mitch, arrived at 83C on Monday evening, July 20.  Leading the assembly team is Joachim, along with Christoph, Rachel, Steve (Mr Domino), and Jeffrey (ieatlint).

It took about an hour and a half to go through and check the parts against the [http://pony.noisebridge.net/~cmaier/makerbot/parts_lists.ods parts list].  <strike>We think we are missing a bag of "laser cut pulleys" but it's hard to be completely sure, as there are a LOT of parts and they are not all labeled exactly as in the parts list</strike> A bag of "laser cut pulleys" was replaced by MakerBot-made pulleys, but the parts lists weren't updated.  We determined to start assembly anyway.
 
 
== Cupcake [[Makerbot/Electronics|Electronics]] Assembly ==
[http://wiki.makerbot.com/cupcake-electronics-assembly Instructions] Christoph soldering one of the [[Makerbot/Electronics/Stepper_driver|stepper motor drivers]], one of the [[Makerbot/Electronics/endstop_switches|endstop switches]], and the SMD parts on the [[Makerbot/Electronics/Motherboard|motherboard]] with only occasional bitching to people to '''''STOP MOVING THE TABLE'''''.
 
Motherboard is tested and able to control stepper motors.  Regular firmware needs to be flashed back onto it.  [http://wiki.makerbot.com/burn-custom-firmware-using-arduino This] may help. [[User:Ieatlint|Ieatlint]] 02:55, 25 July 2009 (PDT)
 
== Cupcake Pulley Assembly ==
[http://wiki.makerbot.com/cupcake-pulley-assembly Instructions].
 
== Cupcake CNC Body Assembly ==
We got the first part of the body together without difficulty, but had trouble with the Z stage as one of the parts had changed from when the docs were written.  The Z stage rod holding guides changed from being O-shaped to being U-shaped, and are marked "Z guides".  The forums told us to use them anyway.
 
The next problem was with threaded rods, which had been cut to size.  The ends of some would not take a nut.  We solved this with judicious use of the bench grinder.  There were LOTS of nut/rod jokes, and we were in a state where they were actually funny!

Progressed to and including the step entitled "Z-stage stepper wiring" as detailed on the body assembly [http://wiki.makerbot.com/cupcake-body-assembly instructions].  The body assembly is nearly completed. [[User:Ieatlint|Ieatlint]] 03:52, 21 July 2009 (PDT)

*Note: Ubuntu 9.04 specific: the librxtxSerial.so and the RXTXcomm.jar that come in the replicatorg download need to be replaced with some binaries from this other place that I don't remember. -[[User:Elgreengeeto|Skory]]
 
*Progressed through to end of Heater Barrel Assembly.  [[User:Miloh|Miloh]] 04:24, 21 July 2009 (PDT)
*Progressed through the Filament Drive Assembly, and Joachim mastered the extruder electronics.  [[User:Miloh|Miloh]] 02:03, 24 July 2009 (PDT)
*Progressed through Attach Heater barrel through step 3. [[User:Miloh|Miloh]] 13:17, 24 July 2009 (PDT)
*Progressed through Attach Heater barrel to the end.  [[User:Miloh|Miloh]] 20:46, 26 July 2009 (PDT)
 
Continue at Plastruder burn in test.  The burn in test can't be completed until the Thermistor and extruder board are recognized by the control system.
